How to be “Real”

I want to talk about a particular aspect about myself that I’ve been extremely hesitant to share with anyone, for fear of the shame or even ridicule I might get. It’s not that it’s particularly a bad thing, per se, only that, it’s not something that I wanted to make public, and for good reason.…

Terrifying Reality

I had a terrifying thought this last night, and I hesitate to share it, in fear, it may be taken the wrong way, but I fear far worse, if I don’t share these thoughts, or at least express them in writing, they will only continue to expand beneath my feet, only to overcome me in…

How to Fight Contempt.

They say, other than infidelity, that one of the most common, if not the most common reason of divorce has some sort of financial under-pinning to it, AKA money problems. If you or your spouse don’t know how to properly manage each others money, not to mention, as a single entity, a couple, then it’s…

Because You Might Be Wrong

I was speaking to co-worker today, and I don’t ever want to come off in a way that ever sounds like I’m portraying someone in a way that could be taken as negative, but he said something that really kind of bothered me. At least, it made me think a lot about certain things. So,…

Find Your Dark Forest

Okay, so it may or may not come to a big surprise to most of you, but I don’t exactly watch a lot of movies. I’m not trying to dog on the people who do enjoy movies, but it feels like, to me, if you’ve seen one good movie, you’ve pretty much seen them all. Now,…

Act As If You Believe, So That It May Be True.

I was listening to discussion between two individuals the other day, and one of them had this quote. You may know who I’m quoting, and if so, you might even know where I’m going with this post. So here’s the quote: “And people say, do you believe in God? And I think a bunch of…
